Javier was an amazing guide- informative, friendly, helpful, accessible. Well organised tour with clear instructions each day. Great variety in style of evening meals.

The second to last and last hotels left much to be desired in terms of bathroom cleanliness. The shower in the last hotel flooded the bathroom and bedroom. Both were dirty.

There was plenty of free time allowed, both in Madrid and during the Camino. Apart from dinner there was no expectation to do things as a group which I appreciated

G Adventures was recommended to me. Based on that recommendation, a friend and I decided to book the trip. I was not disappointed. Everything was well organized, from the information on your website and app to the communications prior to the trip. Our tour guide, Magda was fantastic, well spoken, kept us motivated and on schedule.

The trip was well planned out and offered the ability to have a local experience of the location being travelled to avoid tourist traps and other common hassles. The tour guide was fantastic and offered an authentic experience while helping solve and avoid several problems.

I had a great time and wonderful experience! The itinerary arranged for me was great __. I had a place to stay and the choices made are excellent. For example in Madrid, our hotel location is walking distance from the Presidential Palace, Museums etc. Our Tour Guide, Pau took good care of us beyond compare!!!

I like the overall ideals of G Adventures tours. This was my third one and I will continue to find new places to go that will involve G Adventures and CEO Sarah Martinez. She is a great CEO and resource for G Adventures. The traveller not tourist mentality suits me too and is how i like to travel as well. Learning and being involved with local culture and customs is a priority for me.
